A shirts off retrospective

well well,

its funny how things go in cycles, ay? i started this blog back in september, after starting work at a shitty, shitty call centre. it only took me 7 months to grow to hate it so much, that i resigned without finding another job first.

for god's sake, don't tell my folks - they'd kill me!
now, 7 months later, we are up to 6500 views, and post number 100... on the day i finish work here. LOL

I think theres literally only three things i could write 100 posts about; warhammer, conspiracy theories, and my favourite euphemism - american 'foreign policy', so be thankful ive stayed on topic this whole time.

Its been a pretty exceptional 7 months of hammering though, scooping up a killer nerd posse asap by staking out all the nerd holes in an urban gillies suit with a weighted net, and a trail of bits leading around the corner. ive gone to all sorts of tournaments, all over the place, and met some of the big names and characters of the oz scene.
and of course who can forget us kicking in the door, waving the .44 at the vicc with the australian part of the shirts off family, slaughtering all who opposed us, and leaving with the crown? well i know hampton wont be forgetting that anytime soon :p
ive got two new armies on the go since arriving in oz, one thats nearly all painted, another that isnt, but doesnt require anything else but painting, and numerous tweaks on existing lists.

good luck with blood and glory + watchtower eh? just need me 4 chariots sigh. notice the lack of chimeras. i cant look my unpainted one in the eye, like a red haired step child.
both lists are vunerable to cannons and killing blow, but big pts sinks, and scary, mr3 units.

some pretty fundamental changes here, shedding the last of the big pt sink units, getting more and more prickley and poisoney chaff, and putting a lot of eggs in an ethereal basket. might change the blood statuette for the 2++ upgrade on the slann, but there are so many low t l4's out there its worth a hoon

then the continually hypothetical vc:

vlord, asf, red furry slippers, 4++armour, postrength, ahw
l4, scroll

necro, vamps, flamin' rod
2x bansheez

33 ghouls, ghast
2x20 zombies, muso & standard
3x5 wolves

30 gguard, fc, botbarrows, g/w
2x2 fellbats
6 hexes

gheist

the lil bit of everything vc list. i dont get to run this much, but will be planning on ub'ing it a lot more. enough chaff, some pt sinks, loads of screamz, something for everyone

as for the trusty ong, there is minor tinkering to be done, but havent done it yet lol. spending too much time in smokey montages with the woc book.
so yeah, thats where i am at the mo, and as of next week ill be enjoying a lil touch of unemployment, finally get some paintin' time lol.

A little column a, a little column b. When I realized 2 chimz were a liability, I had 550 pts to spare. And Dave will tell you, but ever since I did the nurgle doc stuff for him, I've always wanted to convert some nurgle knights
